Comment 3 for bug 1338187

Body:
Please mark Bug report #1338187 as invalid.
1. I went to Netgear intially and set up the wired connection through Windows.
2. Netgear support does not support Linux Os.
3. Was told that the automated Genie program could run in Windows.
4. I successfully established the wired connection in Mint 17.
5. I having been trying for the last week and a half to connect the wireless connection to Mint 17.
6. I then followed the tutorial in http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-a-Wireless-Network-in-Linux-Via-the-Command-Line and was lead to entering the:
"Go to your browser and type in the address: "192.168.0.1"
7. This action resulted in sending me to the Netgear Genie interface. What do I got to loose? So I filled in some information by following: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/09/fix-ubuntu-keeps-forgetting-my-wireless.html .
8. I then shut down the computer from last night and this morning stated to work on the problem again. I thought I should check out what I did last night and sure enough, I have a wireless connection.
9. This Netgear Genie does allow Linux to talk to its program.The Genie if used as described from above (i.e. connected by "192.168.0.1" is not dependent on the step by step interface as dictated via Windows. It can be used independently by Linux Mint 17.
10. Sorry for the bug post. Hope this helps someone else.
11. no wlan0 in ifconfig in mint 17. Ref: 6Detecting your wireless adapter: Your wireless adapter should be detected automatically by your distribution.
Type ifconfig into the terminal to determine whether it's been detected.
12. Email sent to change status.
